Rev Cress Darwin, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Charleston, South Carolina, discusses many spiritual and practical matters on death and dying. He shares the unique perspective of a loving, inclusive community who were rocked by the senseless shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 2015. The power of forgiveness and the love of neighbors are lessons we can all apply to our own lives. He savors the topic of “God’s ubiquitous serendipity”, and how we are all called to be together; to forgive as we have been forgiven. Feel the love.
